The GSL finals that will be held at Blizzcon are for the next GSL, not this one. Anyway, a GSL final consisting of NesTea/Mvp/MC would be too interesting so it won't happen.On August 18 2011 05:29 MattBarry wrote: What top class player did MVP face at GSLWC other than mkp?

(if you don't consider July top-class you probably don't consider Losira top class either) Or MC in March for that matter? Does that make their championships invalid too? | ||

I'm mad that he didn't get to go due to a perfectly legitimate achievement being discounted. Please don't pretend that the Open seasons are somehow not achievements anymore just because they occurred last year. On paper, MVP has more points in a system that doesn't count an entire GSL win for MC. That's the reality of things, and I guess if you like MVP more than MC, you'll rationalize that for yourself, but if you wanted a truly accurate measure of achievements, I can't think of any argument that would successfully prove that the Open season achievements shouldn't be counted. The only thing keeping them from being counted is an arbitrary cutoff. | ||

That doesn't change the fact that GSLWC was only 8 Koreans yeah but they were the best koreans, it like starting at the round of 8, he'd be there anyways so it still the top skill players. | ||

How do you know they were the best Koreans? They were the best Koreans on paper, but the actual best Koreans is perfectly up for debate, especially since anyPro was amongst them. MVP's path to winning the WC consisted of beating HuK, Dimaga, San, and MKP, and this was before HuK was considered really good. It's a tough path for sure, but can you really compare it to having to get through the group stage that claims so many good players (MC, MVP, and Nestea have ALL lost in the group stages at some point(s), not to mention other extremely strong players like MKP) or to two whole extra rounds (as is in the Super Tournament and Open seasons), all of which are against Koreans? No matter what, assuming roughly the same pool of players, a smaller tournament is easier than a bigger one simply because there are less games you need to go through to win, and one lacking the group stage is even easier because the group stage is so volatile. | ||

The only thing keeping them from being counted is an arbitrary cutoff. This brings up a question, did Nestea REALLY do that well this year? 2 championships being counted (points wise), at least 1 ro32, a semifinals or ro8 vs MVP. This is the first time I realized that Nestea has the most points, WITHOUT his GSL2 win. Also with MKPs 2nd place finish would he have surpassed MVP as well? EDIT: My question about Nestea doing that well was not a blow to Nestea, it was a shock that he did much better this year than I expected (I thought he was first counting his GSL2 win) | ||

I realize that MC just got screwed by the system, but there are all these people that believe that MVP is simply more accomplished than MC overall and refer to the point system as if it's infallible. A more accurate statement would be, "MVP is more accomplished than MC this year". That's why I'm emphasizing my point about "truly accurate" measuring of achievements, because if you make the cutoff point at the start of this year, that's losing some accuracy, no? I'm not saying Blizzcon should count points that way, because it's Blizzcon 2011, so that makes sense. I'm just saying that the current points system isn't a truly accurate representation of achievements. | ||

Its the same guy... That's a pretty shortsighted argument. The WC is one round shorter than Code S, and the missing round is the incredibly volatile group stage, while the WC is 2 rounds shorter than the ST and Open GSLs. By your logic, I could have a one-round GSL with just MVP and MKP, and count that as well if MVP beats MKP again, because "it's the same guy". | ||

Its like people still saying fruit dealer is still up there, he got jipped just as mush as MC, 5000, if he had that he would look like a contender too, but obviously he hasnt had much going on in 2011. No matter how inaacurate the system mvp is still better demonstrated by winning mlg and actually beating him. | ||

My argument was directed at the people who were saying the WC had no skill in it while the real contenders were actually the same as in the GSLs. | ||
